Ansicht von Nonnenwerth, Rolandseck und Drachenfels. / Vue de Nonnenwerth, Rolandseck et Drachenfels.

Nonnenwerth is an island near Bad Honnef in the Rhine, upriver from Cologne, administratively part of Remagen in Rhineland-Palatinate. The island is mainly known as the site of a monastery of Benedictine nuns, later a Franciscan convent. The Drachenfels (;Dragon's Rock;) is a hill (321 metres (1,053 ft)) in the Siebengebirge uplands between Königswinter and Bad Honnef in Germany. The hill was formed by rising magma that could not break through to the surface, and then cooled and became solid underneath. It is the subject of much tourism and romanticism in the North Rhine-Westphalia area. Aquatinta from Rudolf Bodmer, issued from F. C. Eisen in Cologne (ca. 1832 - 1837).
